REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar & Neil GIraldo

So, REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar may not have been at the top of everyone’s list to perform at the city’s Tricentennial New Year’s Eve celebration, but is it that surprising that the “Keep On Loving You” dudes and Pat Benatar (who wrote the iconic ’80s tracks “Love is a Battlefield” and “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” ... which I’m currently jamming out to as I write) are lined up to perform? Admit it San Antonio, we dig the old shit, so let’s try to enjoy it and if anything, legendary conjunto musician Flaco Jimenez will be there so, at least we’ll have some puro San Anto representation there, too.
